Databases only allow access to persistent data. To accomplish what Apple does with Handoff, they also need to sync application state.
Although today's keynote was clearly a demo, it does show us the potential of run-anywhere apps.
- fomojola 12y agoSlightly redundant, but application state really should just be considered additional data: Amazon has done the "resume reading on the same page on a different device" for some time unless I'm wrong. The CHOICE to sync the specific screen in the app as well as the contents of that screen might be a unique thing (and definitely makes for a good demo), but at this point we're just picking how far down the rabbit hole we want to go.
